Good news! #Lyrebirds were thought to be at risk of extinction following recent bushfires. But our post-bushfire camera surveys are revealing lyrebirds are widespread & doing well at this study site in northern NSW, with lyrebirds detected on ~25% of our cameras @DingoResearch

New paper with actual good news to report! Mammal populations on Groote Eylandt (Oz's 4th largest island) doing relatively well. Due to benign fire, few cats, no large herbivores, no pigs and no toads! :-) @JaimeHeiniger @TSR_Hub @TSCommissioner #Wildoz onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

THIS THIS THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS. Please watch and share. Brilliantly and simply put.

A nice video of the amazing people I get to work with in a truly wonderful place :-) @brettpmurphy @TSR_Hub @TSCommissioner @JaimeHeiniger theguardian.com/australia-news…

#rockwallaby, #python, tree #snake (look carefully) and a stack of #microbats This last waterhole is very popular.

And in more good news, today @JimmyCAbell and I captured our first female #quoll since the #bushfires in Oxley Wild Rivers National Park. ‘Jacinda’ is a juvenile, and as our only female so far, we are hoping she will play a vital role in repopulating the site over coming years

3 spotted-tailed #quolls from our first day of post-#bushfire trapping. You can see apple (meant for possums) but he got a chicken wing for his efforts. Well done team!

We found our first #bushfire survivors this morning. This #possum was very appreciative for some moisture and food in a landscape devoid of life. 2 #possums and 3 #echidnas so far. Unfortunately no #quolls yet. @hpmilne @JaimeHeiniger @DingoResearch @beccherubin

Check out these quollity whiskers! This spotted-tailed #quoll seems more interested in monitoring us, while we try to monitor him. In case it wasn't already obvious, #cameratraps can be seen and heard by animals journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… #mammalwatching #wildoz

Twitter #wildoz geniuses: what kind of spider can capture and devour a feathertail glider? Specifically, who is this furry and magnificent beast?! Found on my sister's property about 1/2 hour inland from Coffs Harbour... @dieterhochuli @LizyLowe

Today the Courier Mail claimed that the Threatened Species Recovery Hub is an anti-coal activist group who is reviewing the Adani coal mine's environmental plans. Wrong on all counts! Deliberately misleading or sloppy journalism? nespthreatenedspecies.edu.au/news/threatene…

It’s raining quolls: The 2018 wrap-up! Check out @NatJFreeman's story for the #PTeamGTE Performance Lab - as part of our #northernquoll long term monitoring program on #GrooteEylandt @drrobbiewilson wilsonperformancelab.squarespace.com/www.wilsonperf…

How incredible is this little critter that DBCA Scientist Dr Judy Dunlop came across in the Pilbara? It's the first ever record of an albino northern quoll. @fudgeh0g #quollpatrol

Fat-tailed Dunnart (Sminthopsis crassicaudata) telling me off #attitude love the feisty ones @OutbackEco #mammalwatching #WildOz #wildlife

#overload of #quolls = prep and mayhem #smallmammal research well underway @drrobbiewilson

Spotted this awesome #mantaray and his huge buddy at #Nightcliff jetty this morning. #wildoz #nature #marinelife

Foxes have been caught climbing trees and looking for food. Not great news for our tree-dwelling mammals. blog.csiro.au/the-quick-brow… ^EK
